HS FOOTBALL: Valencia again ready to head ’em off at pass

The quarterback job is a coveted position as pass-happy Valencia, where senior Jake Wallace is poised to take over for Sean Murphy, who passed for 3,939 yards and 38 touchdowns last season.

Wallace has waited in the wings, but nothing is being handed to him. The quarterback is getting a big push from sophomore Cole Parkinson, who has loads of potential.

“Cole Parkinson is right there, too,” Valencia coach Larry Muir said. “Jake has a great command of the offense but needs to continue to improve because Cole will be a special player. He’s as talented a young player as I’ve seen.”

Malik Townsend, who had 54 receptions last season, is back, too.

“I’m looking forward to the upcoming season. We have a lot of returners, especially on offense,” Townsend said. “We’re expected to put up a lot of points.”
